the pipes and. heat dissipating plates, which 1 constitute the core of the radia ed to be connected with reservoirs of the radiator wiV of soldering same.

tor are adapt the upper and lower thout the need A further object of my invention .is to radiator consisting provide an automobile of an upper andw lower necting the reservoirs, plates spaced between the and lower reservoirs an the upper and lower reserv nient with the water pipes tight connection between t the pipes.

A still further object of my invention is to provide a radiator of reservoir,

pipes conheat dissipating pipes and upper d means for holding oirs into engageto make a waterhe reservoirs and the above described character wherein the parts necessary to form the core of the radiator are secured to tl wherein the said when the pipes freeze accident the pipes and coolers a An additional object to provide a device of 1e reservoirs without the use of solder and parts can be removed and replaced with a new part, which is necessary and break or if by of my re damaged. invention is the above described character, which is simple in construction,

for the purpose intended that can be manufactured and the market at a relatively low objects of my invention will be better understood as the description proceeds and as in the appended claim.

Referring to the acc which forms a part of this speci is specifically pointed out ompanyingr drawing cation for the purpose of illustrating mJy invention.

Figure 1 is a front elevation of a radiator constructed in accordance with my invention.

Figure 2 is a side elevation of same.

Figure 3 is a vertical transverse taken on line 3-3 of F Figure 4 is a horizont line 4-4 of Fig. 3, and

section al section taken on p1 es.

. eferring to the drawin characters will be use parts in the different vi d to designat ews.

gs in detail7 like e like 'placed in position between the and adapted to correspond in number 'with l the openings located on the underside of the upper reservoir. Positioned between the up per and lower reservoirs are water pipes 3, the ends of which are indicated by the numeral 4 and are adapted to pass through openings in the relatively thick faces 5 of thelower plate of the upper reservoir and the upper plate of the lower reservoir. Adjacent each end of the pipe 4 a collar 6 is formed on saine-and positioned on each collar is a washer 7, which is adaptedto engage the relatively thick plate 5 of the upper and lower reservoirs when thev pipes 3 are placed in position for the purpose of forming a watertight connection between the reservoirs and the pipes. bers 8 are clamped between .the reservoirs. Positioned between each series of pipes 3 and between the pipes and the side walls 8 of the radiator are heat dissipating plates 9. The heat dissipating partitions 9 are of corrugated formation and are provided withV openings l() so that when the partitions are pipes, the pipes 3 rest in 6r against the openings 10, thus allowing the corrugated edges of the partitions to rest in engagement with each other. as is clearly shown in Figs. 3 and 4.

Bolts 11, two of which are positioned on each side of the radiator are used for clamping the upper and lower reservoirs into engagement with the water pipes 3. The washers 7 supported on the shoulders 6 of the pipes 3 prevent a leakage between the reservoirs and the pipes.

In case any of the pipes 3 should freeze and break, all that would be` necessary would be to unfasten the bolts 11, remove the upper reservoir, then remove the broken pipe, replace saine replace the upper reservoir and fasten same with the boltsV 11. The same operation would follow in case one of the dividers or cooler partitions should become damaged.

It is thought that in view of the foregoing description of my invention taken in connection with the accompanying drawings that further explanation as to the operation, construction and objects of my invention are unnecessary.

Wall memwith a new one and then While I huve shown und described the preferred form of my invention, l realize that various minor changes may be resorted to, Without departing from the `spirit und scope o1c the invention us Claimed, therefore, l do not wish to limit myself to the exact details of construction shown, nor the Colnbiimtion and arrangement of parts und meteriel used.

What I claim :1s new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:

A. radiator structure comprising' header members spaced from eaeh other, pipes passing through the inner Walls of the header members and having shoulders against which the inner surfaces of' said walls beur, :ingularly corrugated plate-s interposed between the header members and the pipes and bearing at opposite edges against the inner surfaces oit the header members, each alternate apex of each plate having arcuate openings adapted to receive side portions oit the pipes and means YFor drawing" the header members toward each other whereby the edges ot the open-ings in lthe plates are brought in close Contact with the surfaces of the pipes.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature.
